BMW M3 Used in Mission Impossible 5 Put Up For Display

  • What's New on BMW M3?

    At the auto expo this year, BMW yet again announced the new rendition of the BMW M3 car for 2021. The new 2021 BMW M3 comes with a few changes in its aesthetics while also keeping in mind the original form and power of the older versions. This 5-seater sedan this year comes in only in two petrol variants, namely the Standard and Competition models, which makes this car even more special.

    This year, both car variants come with a turbocharged 3-litre engine that can produce as much as 480 BHP of power for the standard one and up to 521 HP for the competition. Along with that high power, the car also can produce a maximum torque of 550 Nm in the standard model and 650 Nm in the Competition model. While these numbers are very impressive, this is only the beginning. The car also keeps in mind the everyday users and comes with certain conveniences generally seen in a sedan like a huge boot space of 495 Litres, along with foldable seats, that further increases this number to a whopping 1,500 Litres. However, with such a powerful engine, every car manufacturer often compromises on mileage. That said, in this segment, this car has one of the best mileages at 10.75 KM/L.

    The interior of this car is specially made to be comfortable so that the everyday riders do not have any problem in long drives, as well as city rides. The cabin is also made with very close attention to detail, making the whole feel very premium and exquisite. With well-placed controls and an easily manoeuvrable steering wheel, there is no way you will be disappointed with the ride quality of this car. It also gets air conditioning vents at the rear set along with a foldable hand rest in the middle.

    Along with that, the suspension of the new BMW M3 has also been exchanged for stiffer ones this time. The premium leather seats really provide a luxurious interior. This further helps grip any surface better and also absorbs more jerks on the road, in turn giving the driver a seamless and comfortable ride.

    When it comes to aesthetics, BMW somehow gets it right every time. The novel BMW grilles have been elongated this time around to give it a more muscular yet futuristic and smoother look. Although this is the most noticeable difference from the prior BMW M3s, other unique touches include the heavy structure of the front bumper, rising up to a bonnet that has new lines, giving it a much more sporty look.

    What sets this car apart from all its competitors is the fact that BMW has managed to perfectly balance the sporty feel and look of this car with comfort and elegance.  With the turbo charged engine, there is no doubt that this car performs like a beast. However, they have subdued that for everyday users by adding premium quality interiors, a poised and elegant look and luxurious material used for the cabin. Any customer buying this car will surely get the best of both worlds.

car&bike Expert Take

“An absolute powerhouse for performance enthusiasts, the BMW M3’s four-door practicality and acute xDrive system ensure that the car is not just about raw speed. It’s a complete package with sharp driving feedback that few rivals can still go head-to-head against in today’s market.”

Performance saloons were not quite headline-worthy in the Indian market at one point. The BMW M3’s arrival in 2014 changed that perception by setting a new gold standard in this segment, after it landed on India’s showroom floors via the CBU (Completely Built-Up) route.

The latest 2024-25 update has done well to keep the car’s rich heritage alive, packing some serious power into its four-door body profile once again. It clearly avoids the design of the standard 3 Series by adopting a wider stance, and has also grown heavier over time. But at the same time, the driving experience of this car has never dropped quality-wise, thanks to the clever all-wheel-drive system powering its capabilities.

Siddharth Vinayak Patankar observed how the BMW M3 fared against the BMW M4 some time back, and he had interesting things to say about the German siblings. We have taken some of his insights, particularly about the M3, and put them in this review as well.

Pros

  • Strong engine power
  • Great grip from the 4x4 system
  • Big 480-litre boot space
  • Clear and bright curved screen
  • Practical rear seats for adults

Cons

  • Low ground clearance
  • No physical AC buttons
  • Polarising front grille design
  • Very expensive add-on options
  • Firm ride over bad roads

Verdict

The BMW M3 is an absolute beast on the road. While it keeps its family credentials alive and kicking, a true track car’s raw speed also lies resting within its DNA, letting you pull hard all the way to the redline. To keep you out of trouble when you’re feeling adventurous, the BMW M3’s brake bite is tremendous as well, letting you enjoy empty stretches without any second thoughts. Besides, there’s also an EV variant that could hit Indian shores by 2027, while you also need to check whether the previous models are still on retail or not.

Sure, the original's firm suspension may not be up to the mark when going through broken city streets, or the styling might not appeal to all. But those complaints lose ground when you feel how direct the sedan’s steering is, and how the car’s four-door practicality is actually non-negotiable if you're a family man. If you have the budget and want a car that can comfortably handle the daily office commute before hitting a weekend trip, there’s no point in hesitating to bring the BMW M3 home.
